We had a hail storm about 10 days ago that really did a number on our alfalfa so we cut early to get it off so we can water up the second crop. We had a really good dew this morning (unusual for us) and Mike started to bale the raked hay. The monitor (the baler is a Vermeer 605 Super M) read dry, which was strange and the bales were shaped odd and spongy. He tested with the bale probe and it was very wet. Normally wet bales are hard. The rake is picking up all the damaged stems and alot of the leaves that were laying on the ground. Any thoughts are appreciated.
